Brought to you by Steamboat Radio and Aurum Food & Wine, the Gimme Shelter Fundraiser for the Routt County Humane Society is underway with life-size artist-rendered dogs that have been ‘adopted’ by businesses. The beloved Artful Labs are once again out and about in Steamboat Springs this summer.

We are so grateful for your donation of a very useful vehicle for transporting our shelter dogs and cats to their veterinary appointments as they get ready for their new forever homes.

Pet of the Week

Yukon

Yukon has experience living with kids, so he would make a great family dog. Being a working breed, he will need adequate exercise or a “job” to do. He would love to have owners that like to hike or go on long walks/runs. Yukon loves to play ball and will sweetly sit to wait for your next throw.

One of Yukon’s favorite things to do is dive at your feet and roll over so you can give him a belly rub. He really has no idea how big he is!

Please stop by and meet the hilarious Yukon, he will bring much enjoyment to his new family!

Welcome to Routt County Humane Society!

Steamboat Springs Colorado is our home and we aim to assist animals in need in Routt County. We count on the generosity of our local community so that we can provide veterinary care for dogs, cats, and the occasional bunnies and ferrets at the Routt County Humane Society facility. We also use your donations to assist pets in need from low income families and for trap/neuter/release in feral cat colonies. We believe that spaying and neutering helps reduce future, unwanted pet population in our community and makes for healthier, longer-lived pets. Join us!

Our Mission

The Routt County Humane Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals, providing humane education, promoting spaying and neutering as a means of decreasing the number of unwanted pets, and encouraging respect for the dignity and worth of all animals.
